    摘要: Provided is a surface plasmon antenna that can be set so that the emitting position on the end surface of the plasmon antenna where near-field light is emitted is located sufficiently close to the end of a magnetic pole. The surface plasmon antenna comprises an edge having a portion for coupling with a light in a surface plasmon mode. The edge is provided for propagating surface plasmon excited by the light and extends from the portion to a near-field light generating end surface that emits near-field light. The edge for propagating surface plasmon is a very narrow propagation region. Therefore, the near-field light generating end surface, which appears as a polished surface processed through polishing in the manufacturing of the plasmon antenna, can be made a shape with a very small size, and further can be set so that surface plasmon propagates to reach the end surface reliably.

    摘要: A head capable of favorite thermally-assisted magnetic recording without depending on the use of a near-field light generator is provided. The head comprises a write head element formed on the trailing side from a waveguide and comprising a first main pole. The first main pole and the waveguide are opposed to each other through a first clad layer, and a second clad layer is provided on a rear side from the first main pole. This gives that the end surface of the waveguide can be placed much close to the end surface of the first main pole apart by only a thickness of the first clad layer. As a result, the end surface of the first main pole can apply a sufficient intensity of write field to the intensity center and its vicinity of the light spot formed on the magnetic recording layer.

    摘要: Provided is a plasmon antenna in which a near-field light having a sufficient intensity is generated only in a desired location. The plasmon antenna comprises an end surface on a side where a near-field light is generated; the end surface is flat and has a shape with at least three vertexes or rounded corners; and an end surface of the plasmon antenna which is opposite to the flat end surface and receives light, is inclined with respect to the flat end surface so as to become closer to the flat end surface toward one of the at least three vertexes or rounded corners. When the light-receiving end surface of the plasmon antenna is irradiated with the light, a near-field light having a sufficient intensity can be generated at only the vertex or rounded corner toward which the entire plasmon antenna becomes thinner.

The semiconductor oxide layer that forms a part of the spacer layer can thus be made thick while the device has a low area resistivity as desired, ensuring much more favorable advantages: ever higher MR performance, prevention of device area resistivity variations, and much improved reliability of film characteristics.
